The wildcat option this season would probably have seen Cam Newton get 15-20% of the QB snaps.

I thought my front seven would beast it up: Ray McDonald, Chris Long, Ndamukong Suh and Tyson Alualu are my starting line and have provided all 14 of my sacks. My LBs have been nonexistent. I thought a starting 3 of Connor Barwin (11.5 sacks last year), Patrick Willis and Pat Angerer would be noisemakers, but they literally have shown nothing. Not even a penalty.
The bear here is that without any kind of occurrence in the play by play, there is no way to determine their effectiveness, or lack thereof.
My DBs are as underachieving a group as you could ask for, but I already mentioned them, although we did double our season int total with one more in week 10.

I agree (Rain Man has mentioned it too) that we need to have some way of giving feedback with respect to how some of the non-skill units are doing. If you were a real GM, you could watch them play, grade them, and figure out where your weaknesses are. Here it's all a black box. So on one hand we need to give you some feedback that you can use for improvement, but at the same time, we don't want to remove the "fog of war" aspect where it would become too easy to game the system. Rain Man and I need to figure out the best way to provide this feeback to you.

I have Chris Long playing for the Vision in League 1. He has been beast, compiling 16 sacks. You have only got 6 sacks out of him. Same thing with Suh. He's generated 6 sacks for me, but only 3 for you. I'm don't know and won't say how much of that is luck and how much might be game planning.

I don't think it would be giving too much away to say that LB can't get sacks unless you blitz them.

Question, how did my QB get switched? I admittedly can't log on as much as I'd like, but I swear I had Bradford set as my QB. Did it not revert back to him when he came back from his injury?

You have to manually make any lineup changes. The only one that is made automatically (other than in-game rotations) is to insert a street free agent for any injured players.

Long term, my wish list would include a depth chart so the game automatically starts the highest guy who's available. There are probably some technical issues that make that difficult, though, if you have one guy backing up more than one spot. It gets complicated quickly.

Ok, then how did my QB change. Bradford started week one. Then some how it pulled him in favor of Kerry Collins. Then somehow Caleb Henne played the next several weeks.

Oh, that's right. cdcox has a bot to do lineups for absentee owners. We had a technical glitch in Week 3 or 4 that kicked in the bot, so it may have picked Collins or Hanie to start.

Several things could be in play here:

1. I initially had is set where if the owner didn't check in for more than one league week, that a bot would take over the management of your team. I've backed that off to 3 or 4 weeks now.

2. Rain Man mentioned the glitch where I had to reset one week and a lot of people's rosters got hosed.

3. During weeks 6 and 7 Caleb Henne was the only active QB on your roster. It isn't currently programmed to start a player once he becomes injured; you have to reset them as a starter manually. This is the reason that I had originally had the bot take over after 1 week of inactivity. The bot would have changed your starting QB.

4. In short, I designed the interface assuming most owners would check their rosters every league week.

5. A depth chart style interface would solve a lot of this and is probably the correct long term solution. I almost decided to add this during the short hiatus between games 7 and 8. But Rain Man is right -- it gets complicated fast if you want one player to back up more than one position. I think I came up with a solution, but it would have taken a week or more to code. I didn't want people to have to wait that long to start the simulations again.

Blaine Gabbert is no Matt Schaub. I lost 10-9. :shake:

Congrats Knuckledraggers.

Anchorage came out flat and couldn't move the ball. Unfortunate loss to the tigerhawks.

Joe Flacco sacked by Charles Johnson for a loss of -8 yards. QB fumbled and defense recovered returned for 81 yards. Touchdown, conversion
Also, very interesting that I only ran 47 offensive plays and won.

Joe Flacco was 41 of 66 for 536 yards LMAO 2 TD, 1 INT, 2 fumbles

Finally, this is an epic series by my offense (read: QB). 95 yards in 6 plays and 2:02

That game has killed my pass defense ranking. I am now 8th worst, though ranked high in YPA against.

Observation: top 4 run defenses are on teams with a combined 36-8 record.

Hammock Parties 07-17-2012 05:23 AM

My free agent punter killed it this last game. 5 punts, 54.2 avg.

And this may have won the game.

This week my opponent is missing 4 CBs. LMAO

They also have the worst pass rush in the league.

I think I'll try and break some records.

League 1 the league rushing average is 4.36. Wichita averaging 6.58 ypa. Talk about an extreme outlier....nearly 4.5 deviations from the mean.

Players? Line? Coaching? Bad defense? What?

I would love to see Wichita's run/pass percentages and formations.
